It may give scientific knowledge. But, such verses are for contemplating HER Grandeur.

Is this one of the verses that can be used to gain knowledge of any kind, like science?

@GAUTHAM Please dont say that you shudder at the fate of fathers not having sons to send them through moksha...there is nothing wrong in having daughters or not having children at all.Daughters and sons are both your own self,own blood,if they are raised equally given equal opportunities then why should they not get equal rights to perform their parents' last rites?Its never true that parents can't get moksha through their daughters. Garuda Purana insists that the elder son does it but nowhere has it categorically barred daughters from performing it.In fact so many daughters do mukhagni today even in rural areas(you can check it from the net & one of my aunts had done it too). Gopinath Munde's daughter doing it was a high profile example.In future this is sure to reduce people's yearning for a male child. Use your brains sir. Don't misinterpret traditions and bring unnecessary social inequalities. And not having any child is not a problem either.Do you think a great person like Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam would not attain moksha ?All depends on your karma & how you please God .Nothing else.

Thanks for the very informative and interesting article. There is a typographical mistake in sloka 15th, correct version should be dvādaśātman, द्वादशात्मन from dvādaśa (twelve) and ātman?

Bala mantra is reversed in the middle section. First it is aiṁ - klīṁ - sauḥ; next it is reversed sauḥ - klīṁ  - aiṁ; again Bala mantra in regular form aiṁ - klīṁ - sauḥ. In other words, reversed Bala mantra is done sampuṭīkaraṇa with two Bala mantras at two ends. This makes navakshari Bala mantra powerful.  Benefits depend upon your samkalpa.

Why is Bala Navaksari mantra so powerful? What benefits does it offer?

Lalita Sahasranama is just not a hymn, expounding Her Grandeur. It is also a mantra. Every nama has one hidden beejakshara. Anything in mantra form should not be sung as a song with raga and swara. Listen to T.S Ranganathan CD in YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGRhM77OSU0

Can you please elaborate on why Lalitasahasranama should not be recited with raga or swara? Also, how should it be recited?

The Nyāsas are also highly recommended for mantra japa. These are to activate the nerve centers, increase concentration, as well as to offer protection to ourselves from any disturbances etc. The dhyāna verse is to help fix the deity in our mind, to whom the japa is to be offered. It's important to have deep concentration to enhance the quality of the japa. Consider this as a form of meditation. Since it's normally not possible to have no thoughts, it is also recommended that one go through at least 3 rounds of nāḍi śodhāna prāṇayama, also called alternate nostril breathing. This usually calms the mind and makes us ready for the mantra japa.
